Discover the Le Corbusier – oeuvre tissé, catalogue raisonné complet des tapisseries (complete catalogue raisonné of Le Corbusier’s tapestries) by Martine Mathias (1987), a rare Philippe Sers/Vilo edition published for the centenary of his birth and the exhibition at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Arras. With a preface by François Mathey and an introduction by Annick Davy (ISBN 9782904057236), this definitive work traces Le Corbusier’s discovery of tapestry in 1936 thanks to Marie Cuttoli, his theorization of the revolutionary concept of the “Muralnomad” in 1948—a mobile tapestry and living element of modern living—as well as his collaboration with Pierre Baudouin in Aubusson. Between 1936 and 1965, he commissioned some thirty works inspired by Purism, female figures, objects with a poetic resonance, and subjects such as Ubu and Totem, not to mention major public commissions, including the one from UNESCO in Paris.

Rich in previously unpublished documents and in-depth analyses, this 103-page hardcover book features 44 color illustrations and 65 black and white illustrations. In good overall condition with an illustrated dust jacket showing slight signs of wear, this is the French edition. Ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of modern architecture, 20th-century design, decorative arts, and out-of-print books on Le Corbusier, this is the essential work on his major contribution to the art of tapestry in the 20th century.
